Hypothyroidism

Description:-

Thyronorm tablet is used in the treatment of hypothyroidism and myxedema coma (disease caused by lack of thyroid hormone in which areas of the skin are swollen). It is similar in structure to the hormone naturally produced by the thyroid gland. It provides more thyroid hormones and relieves the symptoms of tiredness, weight gain, and depression. An electrocardiogram (ECG; test to measure the electrical activity of heart) is advised before starting treatment with levothyroxine, as changes induced by hypothyroidism may be confused with changes that occur due to decreased blood flow to heart (ischemia).
